I lamented just the other day that what Goddess Callista really needs is better writers. I've got good news and good/bad news on that front. First, the wonderful/terrible news is that whoever wrote Callista's introduction to Hubby at CPAC is a hack of the worst sort. Did you watch this awkward thing? The golf jokes were so bad. Did Callie write this stuff herself? Her delivery was also unimpressive, stilted and robotic, so that was excellent. If this is the campaign's idea of "unleashing Callista," then I'm looking forward to more cringe-inducing greatness.

Now as far as people writing about the Mistress of the Platinum Space Helmet rather than for her, things are improving. Several mainstream journalists have attempted and failed to address the magic and wonder of the spherical coiffure, but I really enjoyed Elissa Gootman's meditation/investigation in the New York Times. This is finally a top-notch report on this crucially important subject, and you will love it. Best sentence ever:

Yes, there are pressing issues facing the nation, from unemployment to foreclosures. But there is still room, it seems, to contemplate the fixed pale-blonde halo framing the delicate head of Newt Gingrich’s wife.

Thanks for the link to the New York Times article which is priceless, but was angered that they did not mention you, Princess, who we all know was the author and originator of The Political is The Personal Hairdo philosophy, with Callista as the Apotheosis of that theory. That's okay, all geniuses are ripped off and misunderstood.

My favorite quote from the article was: "Mrs. Gingrich is sticking with Tatjana Belajic, of the Sugar House Day Spa and Salon in Alexandria, Va." You can't make up proper name details like that, even if you tried. Tatjana is who you should be stalking for an exclusive interview.
